LIPID PEROXIDATION AND ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY IN ORAL FLUID OF PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC GENERALIZED PERIODONTITIS: EFFECT OF PERIODONTAL TREATMENT

Abstract

The research demonstrates pathogenetic role of abnormal processes of lipid peroxidation and antioxidant defense in the oral fluid in their connection with clinical change in development of chronic generalized periodontitis of initial-I degrees of severity. High therapeutic efficiency of the lipoflavon was shown to be determined by antioxidant, membranotropic, anti-inflammatory effects.
